The group of people grandiosely returned to the tent, with Sang Ning and Ruo standing guard on the left and right.
On the other hand, Hong Xiao untied Gu Zixian and Su Yu Wan, and Qi Rou even stood together with Duan Chengyu, maintaining vigilance of Cheng Shan.
Cheng Shan's face was calm, as if he believed there was nothing wrong with this matter.
Only after he sat down did he look coldly at Gu Zixian, "I only left you here because I haven't cleared out the remnants of Aiyan's faction. If you don't give me a reason, I can make you turn into a violent corpse at any time."
"In the future when Gu Sheng becomes king, he can still be considered my brother, not to mention that we were once husband and wife." Gu Zixian's face turned ugly.
"Even if Gu Sheng becomes king, he wouldn't make an enemy of this king just for a mere you, not to mention the matter from before, do I need to repeat it again?" Duan Cheng Xuan's expression turned grim. She never had any good intentions towards Gu Zixian and Su Yuwan in front of him.
However, at this moment, Qi Rou, who had received instructions from Gu Daiyan, knew of some things. For example, Gu Daiyan had told her to bring all of the medicine in Old Master He's hands to Gu Zixian, and at this moment, without caring about Duan Chengyu's obstruction, she took a step forward and walked to Gu Zixian's side: "Prince, this matter is indeed inconvenient to tell you.
Cheng Shan walked up and asked, "Does Miss Qi know the reason behind this?"
"No idea, it's just a guess." Qi Rou said honestly.
"Since it's just a guess, it can't be counted as real. After all, Miss Gu isn't a person of the Navy Tide. If she's plotting to use it, or if she's working with that Your Highness to do something …" "Then, Miss Qi's guarantee today is to act recklessly. If anything happens in the future, you won't have the strength to bear the burden." As Cheng Shan said this, he glanced at Zong Ping Wang.
As a member of the imperial family, Duan Chengyu was already provoked and he did not think highly of Gu Zixian. Now that he received Cheng Shan's gaze, he could only shake his head helplessly at Qi Rou: "Unless you speak the truth."
"But I don't think it's that simple." Qi Rou bit her lower lip, but in the end, she could only focus her gaze on Su Yu Wan: "But I'm curious, why did Su Yu Wan hate Gu Danyan so much before, yet listen to her every order these few days. Is she secretly hiding in order to wait for a day to take revenge, or …"
"Su Yu Wan is someone that this duke will stay behind to restrain Mu Qing. There's no harm in putting her in the dungeon." Duan Chengxuan interrupted Qi Rou, "There's no need for you to change the topic. What you need to decide now is whether or not Gu Zixian will stay, and who released Yue Qing."
"The person who let me out is a good subordinate to you." Yue Qing laughed lightly as she knelt on the ground. She raised her head and looked at Duan Chengxuan, "Your highness, do you really think that Gu Liuyan is only interested in you and your highness, the Third Prince?"
"You want to sow discord?" His pair of cold eyes pierced into Cheng Shan's heart, shocking Cheng Shan to the point he knelt down as well with his head lowered. "Cheng Shan, you've been beside me for so many years, yet you can't tell what kind of person Yan'er is?"
"Subordinate …" Cheng Shan stammered, but was unable to say anything. He truly did not believe Gu Danyan.
"Gu Zixian's matter, Su Yuwan's matter, including the matter of immortality, how much did Gu Danyan tell you about it?" "She has never trusted any of you before. She only wants to get the eternal mystery of life, and the reason why Su Yu Wan did it for her, was because she told Su Yu Wan the whole truth, and Su Yu Wan thought that they were all pawns who had chosen to serve Gu Jue Yan and bribe Su Yu Wan and Gu Zi Xing. What did Prince think she wanted to do?"
With that said, Su Yu Wan's eyes and face turned red, making Yue Qing's words seem more sincere.
The few of them fell into a moment of silence. At this moment, Qi Rou was also starting to doubt whether they should step forward and act as guarantors. Duan Chengyu did not see clearly Gu Mingyan from the start, but he broke the silence: "Anyway, she won't hurt me, I'm willing to believe Gu Guyan."
Cheng Shan's frown deepened.
After a moment of silence, Duan Chengxuan stared coldly at the mess Gu Danyan had left behind, but he only asked Hong Xiao, "What do you think?"
Hong Xiao was slightly surprised, but he quickly replied, "This subordinate thinks that if both Yue Qing and Chengshan are right, then logically speaking, that prince only wants the method of immortality, not political matters. In that case, what danger will he bring? Unless everyone here has the same thoughts. "
It was just a simple sentence, but it cleared the clouds for the crowd.
The bystanders were clear, and what they said was not false.
Qi Rou was stunned for a moment and then laughed out loud: "No wonder Gu Liu Yan said you are interesting."
Duan Chengyu rubbed the tip of his nose as he had never thought of this. Cheng Shan and Yue Qing's expressions were similarly conflicted.
Only the frost on Duan Chengxuan's face had dispersed, and even though his lower jaw was still tight, there was still a sliver of softness to his well-defined face. His voice was also a little softer as he said, "Even if Yan'er wanted to pursue the art of immortality, he would not do anything that would be out of the ordinary. Furthermore, she had many of you women under his control, but now, he is slowly leaving a member of the Imperial clan.
As he spoke, Duan Chengxuan slowly stood up and looked down at Gu Zixian condescendingly, "You and I did indeed have a marriage that day, and I owe you one. I'll return the favor to your brother in the future, and now you can stay here peacefully. If there comes a day, I hope you'll sincerely call Yan'Er elder sister."
Seeing the man standing in front of him with a straight back, Gu Zixian couldn't help but feel his heart palpitate.
However, Duan Chengxuan's words cut off her spreading love and only made her angry and frustrated. "I'm not related to her in any way."
"She is usually so willful. If she doesn't like you a bit, don't even mention helping you, it would be good if she doesn't kill you. Furthermore, she has helped you with a lot of things with Gu Sheng. It's not good for you to call her big sister and acknowledge the Emperor as your father in the future, right? " As Duan Cheng Xuan spoke, he did raise her by a bit.
If Gu Sheng truly wanted to be based on the Jiang Yan of the past, then he would need a lot more connections.
Once Gu Zixian was truly related to Gu Danyan, it would be indirectly related to Er Dan. At that time, Er Dan would be able to change cities without the use of any troops. At the same time, Gu Sheng would also be able to gain a strong backing to stand firm.
Gu Zixian and you are a match made in heaven. Why would I fall for such a cold-blooded and heartless man like you?
"Now that I see him clearly, it's not too late to leave." Duan Chengxuan restrained the smile on his face and looked at Qi Rou. "The matter of the imperial family isn't simple. I'll have Hong Xiao accompany you for a few days. As for Yue Qing, she'll stay by Chengshan's side and follow me back to the Sky Flame."
"What do you mean?" Yue Qing was extremely dissatisfied with this.
